The story behind the song

This song is a social commentary written by George Harrison, serving as an Orwellian satire on greed and consumerism. It uses harpsichord and orchestral strings in a baroque pop style, which creates a contrast with its acerbic lyrics and the sound of grunting pigs. In the turbulent political climate of 1968, it was adopted by the counterculture as an anti-establishment theme song. Playing this song channels a sharp, critical look at societal excess.
